Line 6 Helix Stadium

Metal was invented in the West Midlands, where I'm from. They called it metal literally because all the guys in those bands worked in steel factories, and they thought the music sounded like the steelworks they all worked at.

Birmingham. See also: Black Sabbath and half of Led Zeppelin, if I'm not mistaken.

So Birmingham is where Peaky Blinders is set. Black Heath is one of the areas I remember from the show. Where I grew up was about 30 miles from Black Heath. But my accent is quite different.

UK accents vary extremely, especially outside of cities.

I live in London now. But I really miss home. I miss my grand parents. I miss going around to my grandad's house, and him prepping the tea tray, and fixing a pot of tea. He had this naff looking stainless steel teapot that he'd always chuck 4 teabags into. He used UHT milk which tasted like absolute ballbag, but man... I miss it. My nan was the same. Biscuit tins, back gardens with actual grass, family around every Saturday. It was actually really idylic to grow up that way, compared to today; and particulary compared to London.

I fucking hate London. I'd move out tomorrow if it wasn't for my family and their needs. Anyway, I'm going off on one.

Don’t forget Slade

I spent time in Stourbridge/Dudley area which is the southern limits of the Black Country, and am now just outside Redditch. Famous for John Bonham.

As far as I know the band Black Country Communion has no connection at all
 
I had a dream that Line6 released a poweramp that was an all black mini-amp head, kinda like a Plexi shell, that had all these tube and computer widgetry hanging out of the back of it, and they sent me one but forgot to include tubes or a power supply and I couldn't use it. It had this really gnarly 90's style breakout cable too.
